A FAN ID is a document that all the spectators of the 2018 FIFA World Cup™ matches must have to get the access to the stadiums. A FAN ID is a small laminated form containing the personal data of its holder. Fan ID and ticket are needed to get into a stadium.

A FAN ID is required for the 2018 FIFA World Cup™ spectators in order to access the stadium and ensure a comfortable stay at the match venue. A FAN ID entitles its holder to free travel in the host cities on match days.

Fan ID operates in lieu of a visa. In case a FAN ID is used as an entry/exit document for the 2018 FIFA World Cup™, the foreign citizen’s passport must be valid as of the moment of entry and for the duration of stay in the Russian Federation.
